    glad that you're keeping something for yourself!
    we should all take a page from that book.

    I love all the different squares that join together to make your quilt so Christmas-sy. Great job!

    do you wash your quilts when they are done? that is how i get the chalk out. i've not had any problems with the blue not coming out. only problems with the red/pink. if you do not want to actually wash your quilt (??) you could try a wet wash cloth. when i finish a quilt the next thing that happens when i finish that last binding stitch...i toss them into the washing machine...and the dryer...chalk washes out.

    Your quilt is VERY Pretty.
    I have never used the blue and have decided not to, but have used the yellow "ONCE! The yellow never came out after several washings. I thought maybe it was because it was on white, I honestly don't know. I've never used it again for that reason, and probably won't until find something to get it out or why it won't. It hasn't been ironed. I have used the white chaco and have never had a problem. hmmm.... I will finish reading this thread and watching for any ideas to remove it.

    I use the yellow all the time - even on quilts that won't be washed - especially wall hangings. I don't mark heavily, and it usually is gone simply from the fabric rubbing together before I finish the quilt. Tougher areas come off with spit on my finger! For the squeamish - spritz the area with a little water and rub it with a scrap of quilt or a brush.
